MX on Linux: Difference between revisions

** '''u''' = Owning user (sometimes the owner is the user root, sometimes the owner is the user Pi, for our web pages later we change ownership)
** '''g''' = Group (by default there are no groups, but a group can be defined if you want to define multiple users, with different passwords, but same rights of access)
** '''o''' = Other users (Public, needed if for example you are using FTP to move a file from a PC to your Pi, or vice versa)
* sign for add or remove permissions
* '''+''' = add permission
* '''-''' = remove permission
*letters indicating what permission is being changed
** '''r''' = read ([4)]
** '''w''' = write ([2)]
** '''x''' = execute ([1)]
 
Note that as an alternative shorter syntax you can use numbers e.g. '''666''' is equivalent to '''ugo+rw'''. The first number relates to u, the second to g and the last to o. The values in brackets in list above are added to derive the number. So if you are reading the Cumulus support forum and you see a reference to permissions which includes a string of 3 digits, now you can understand what is meant.
